John was so fast.when ever he made a break from his teams half of the field he would never sprint away, no regardless of who was chasing him even if it was the ball boy,he would just drag you along a safe distance behind to accompany him stuffed as you well may have been to the try line, on placing the ball he would just politely thank you for keeping him company.

I was President of Northern Districts Dragons RLFC from Adelaide & from about 1981-1985 Norths ;played in the pre-season knockout. Great pre-season preparation (Norths were SARL Premiers 7 times in the 1980's). I met John many times on these trips & he (along with many other Wyalong characters) made us all very welcome & I am sure the Globe pub made a small fortune out of us boys from Adelaide. However, sadly I heard recently that John had passed away in recent times. If this is true I would like to pass on my sincere condolences to his family & all those who knew him. RIP John (Peter Clarke, ph 0414 215445, E; peterdsclarke51@gmail.com
